All these years of gardening and I can’t say that I was ever that crushed on Nepeta, well not until I found Nepeta Fassenii Junior Walker.
Junior Walker growing in a pot bloomed most of June through until early August. I then cut it back, and I am pleased to find new flowering stems well matured and ready to give a second flush.
In early Autumn I will split the plant and have two or maybe even three of them for next year. I just recalled, a few years back when we were in Cheshire I came across another Nepeta which caught my eye, (Blue Moon) very striking but a real spreader.
As for Nepeta Fassenii Junior Walker, you may well be acquaint with him but for me it’s my favourite find of the year and I will share a link further down where you can purchase at an excellent price.
Nepeta Fassenii Junior Walker (catmint) is a hardy perennial. A dwarf variety for the front of the border or equally good in a tub. Junior Walker is just perfect for those who have difficulty with Lavender. This plant will grow in any soil type, leaves are also aromatic, oh, your cat may love it a little too much.
Fully hardy throughout the UK
Junior Walker is a short variety of Nepeta likened to a dwarf version of six hills giant but only about 40 cm/16 in tall.
Full sun or part shade
Abundant spikes of Lavender blue flowers with aromatic silvery grey/green leaves. Long bloom time from June until late September. Cut back stems as soon as the flowers die back for a second flush.
Not fussy, Junior Walker will grow in all soil types which are free draining
Lift and divide plants in Spring or early Autumn. Cuttings of healthy shoots are generally successful.

Privacy is highly valued when it comes to our homes. Regardless of whether you reside next to a busy road or in a terraced townhouse, privacy hedges can be highly beneficial for the garden. Hedges are an excellent option for achieving privacy while also providing a favourable environment for wildlife.

Researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University are partnering with us in our technology addiction project that stands alongside our 'Chained to Tech' garden design. At RHS Tatton Flower Show, researchers will be surveying guests to gauge their attitudes and perceptions towards our garden.
Deservedly one of the most popular houseplants in the UK, the peace lily (Spathiphyllum wallisii) is relatively easy to grow and, in good condition, always looks elegant. Above a mass of large, glossy evergreen leaves that stand tall and proud, the plant intermittently sends up white arrow-shaped spathes. These petal-like bracts, which can be 15-centimetres long and resemble the sails of a ship, are not flowers, but encase the flowers proper, which are held on a spike known as a spadix. In bloom, the peace lily is reminiscent of the arum lily and our native lords-and-ladies (sometimes known as lily grass or jack-in-the-pulpit), which also belong to the arum family (Araceae); none are true lilies (Lilium).
Air plants (Tillandsia) earn their name by being capable of growing without soil. In their native habitat of Central and South America, they cling to trees, cliffs, roofs, and telephone wires with their roots and absorb nutrients from the air. Their grey-green foliage is coated in a silvery frosting of water-absorbing hairs called trichomes; these are capable of taking moisture from the atmosphere, especially in rainy or misty conditions.

Upcycling old clothes and textiles in your garden can be a great way to find new life in old materials, and keep those items from waste streams. Making use of these old materials can also help us reduce the things that we may need to buy to maintain our gardens and transform them into the productive and attractive places we want them to be.
Tulips are popular around the World, often known as the soul of Spring, and historically symbolic for perfect love. Finding the perfect Tulip for your location can often be challenging, particularly as many of Tulip cultivar’s are fussy and short-lived.

Hedges are a classic garden feature. They’re a beautiful way to mark a boundary that avoids the blandness of garden fences and these living walls can dampen noise pollution, soak up groundwater, and provide a windbreak. Hedgerows are also a vital habitat for British wildlife, providing both food and shelter, so regular maintenance is an ecological as well as aesthetic necessity. Hand shears are a simple way to trim but if you have a lot of hedges or mobility issues, powered trimmers make the job much easier and quicker.
